Darkfost posted on X. The European Union is reportedly preparing to impose €93 billion in tariffs as a countermeasure to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent threat concerning Greenland. This development follows Trump's controversial remarks about purchasing Greenland, which have sparked diplomatic tensions between the United States and the EU. The Financial Times reports that the EU's tariff plan is a direct response to the geopolitical implications of Trump's statements. The situation underscores the growing strain in transatlantic relations, with economic repercussions potentially affecting various sectors. The EU's move aims to protect its interests and assert its stance in the face of U.S. foreign policy maneuvers.

The ongoing debate surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, particularly those imposed on Greenland, is causing mixed emotions in the market, described as 'painful yet joyful.' The Supreme Court's upcoming decision on the validity of Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is crucial. If the court rules these tariffs invalid, it is likely that the Greenland tariffs will also be deemed ineffective.Market analysts are closely watching the Supreme Court's stance, as it could significantly influence market dynamics. Besent has expressed confidence that the court will uphold Trump's tariffs. However, the potential refund of taxes previously collected under these tariffs adds complexity to the situation. The Greenland tariffs could further complicate the Supreme Court's decision-making process, possibly delaying the final ruling on Trump's tariffs.The uncertainty surrounding these legal proceedings is expected to increase market volatility, presenting both risks and opportunities. A significant market downturn could offer a chance for investors to buy at lower prices, especially considering the strategic importance of the Federal Reserve Chair's trust and the upcoming midterm elections in the latter half of 2026.

​Sécurité hybride Bitcoin & EVM :
Plasma utilise un mécanisme d'ancrage qui tire sa sécurité de la robustesse de Bitcoin, tout en offrant la flexibilité des contrats intelligents d'Ethereum. C'est le meilleur des deux mondes.
​Le rôle central du jeton $XPL :
Le $XPL est le carburant de cet écosystème. Il sert à sécuriser le réseau via le staking et permet aux détenteurs de participer à la gouvernance du projet.
